Measuring up to standards: A case study of adoption of a school library

Abstract

Library has the motherhood status in the society. Everybody wants it. Nobody questions its importance. However, in reality, in many academic institutes – schools and colleges in particularthey exist more like an ornament. It receives the attention when committees visit the institutes for accreditation or some other similar purpose. Teachers, students, and the public rarely complain about the non-availability of library services. A school library, unfortunately, is no exception.
